The renovations increased the Rangers complex from 37,000 to 49,500 square feet, including a completely remodeled 3,000-square-foot Major League clubhouse that increased the number of lockers from 58 to 70.

The configuration was also changed into an oval shape. That means no players being stuffed into corners or having to locker behind a post, allowing for better communication across the room.

The renovations also included a 6,300-square-foot indoor weight room and conditioning facility as well as an additional 1,600-square-foot outdoor work room with artificial turf and canopy. The training rooms include new hydrotherapy equipment and five pools.

The Rangers also added larger cafeteria and kitchen space, a 3,600-square-foot multi-purpose meeting room and a new media workroom. The covered hitting tunnels received a retractable netting system. The city of Surprise also replaced all the seats in the Surprise Stadium seating bowl.

This is the 14th season that the Rangers and the Royals have shared the complex. The original agreement called for a 20-year lease, and both teams have agreed to a seven-year extension through 2029.
